Additional InformationDirector Rob Reiner breathes vividly colored cinematic life into William Goldman's THE PRINCESS BRIDE, effectively evoking the wondrous, wide-eyed spirit of the witty 1973 novel. When a sick boy (Fred Savage) receives a visit from his doting grandfather (Peter Falk) who intends to read to him from his favorite book, he's not exactly pleased to be extracted from his world of video games. However, his mood quickly changes as he, along with the viewer, is transported to a place out of time--to Florin, a kingdom in the ultimate imaginary land, complete with dashing heroes, cowardly princes, rhyming giants, shrieking eels, rodents of unusual size, fancy swordfights, and yes...even some kissing.<BR>The lovely Buttercup (Robin Wright) learns that "As you wish" really means "I love you" when she falls for her charming farmhand, Westley (Cary Elwes). While trying to seek his fortune, however, Westley disappears at sea, an apparent victim of the Dread Pirate Roberts, who takes no prisoners. A few years later, Buttercup, engaged to the oily Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon), is kidnapped by an oddball trio of rogues--brains, Vizzini (Wallace Shawn); brawn, Fezzik (Andre the Giant); and sword, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin in a standout performance). As they sail away toward the Cliffs of Insanity, they notice the pursuit of a man in black...and the adventure begins. A clever fairy tale for all ages, THE PRINCESS BRIDE is arguably one of the funniest and most entertaining films of all time.
ReviewsVariety - ...At heart, PRINCESS BRIDE celebrates the power of true love to triumph over adversity..., New York Times - ...Sweetness and sincerity....A delightful cast and a cheery, earnest style that turns out to be ever more disarming...

  • The Princess Bride

    An amazing story of a lost love. All the cast play their part brilliantly. Well written, with twists and turns all the way. Watch it once, twice or more and you start to see thing you previously missed. Brought back loads of memories for me. I recommend heartily.

  • I love it - my partner less so

    I've seen this movie many times - and love it. Thought the girlfriend would like it too. She didn't. But then she likes thrillers where most of the characters spend their time looking morose and talking about 'victims'.
